Three Diverse Trips That the Whole Family Will Love

(Last Updated On: February 4, 2020)

The perfect family trip is one that every member enthusiastically enjoys. It’s a challenge to plan trips that the whole family will love, but our destination ideas will help you in the process.

While you and your family most likely love your trips once you’re actually at your destination, organizing the excursion can be an absolute nightmare. Everybody has their own idea of the perfect vacation or traveling experience, but you don’t want to compromise and go somewhere that makes certain members of the family unhappy. Likewise, even the most popular destinations can be a challenge. For example, if suggestions from various family members for things to do in Paris are clashing with those from others, it can be a challenge to plan an itinerary that the whole family will love. The following ideas could be your ticket to the perfect trip in which there is something for everyone, no matter how diverse their ages or interests might be. Read on for three great ideas.

Chill Out in Iceland
Pardon the pun above, but a visit to Iceland really is a traveling experience like no other. Natural beauty is definitely something that Iceland has in abundance. The relaxing Blue Lagoon is a beautiful place in which you and the whole family could kick back. Of course, this country is massively popular with visitors from other countries right now, but there are lots of things you can see and do that don’t attract masses of tourists. You should check out some of the incredible caves scattered across this country. You could try caving with some professionals and enter underground worlds that look too perfect to be an accident. Above ground, you should also explore some of the manmade attractions so as to get an idea of Iceland’s rich history. There’s a Viking settlement in Reykjavik that took centuries to uncover; it’s a fascinating look into ancient history.

Visit Glacier National Park
When it comes to a trip that the whole family will love, there’s no better experience than seeing some of the awe-inspiring natural beauty that North America has to offer. And the Glacier National Park in Montana is no exception to this rule. Spanning hundreds upon hundreds of miles, the Park has an enormous number of fantastic hiking trails that you and your family could try out whilst you’re there. If you’re up for a scenic drive, plan a trip up Going to the Sun Road. You could even stay in one of the many camping spots so as to turn it into more than a day-trip. You might want to check out some Outwell camping products to ensure that you have everything you need for a family camping trip in the wild. With glorious green forests, glacial lakes and ice-tipped mountains, this National Park covers everything on the spectrum when it comes to adventures in nature.

Go on a Classic Adventure to Paris
Paris is always a classic choice for most families or couples looking for their next big vacation or traveling experience, and for good reason. Paris occupies the stratosphere in terms of having so much to offer to visitors, and it’s simply a city that will never lose its appeal. Obviously, you’ll want to start off by admiring the landmark attractions, such as the Eiffel Tower and the Arc De Triomphe, and take in the iconic museums: the Louvre, Musee d’Orsay, and perhaps a smaller more intimate collection like Musee Rodin. But there’s so much more to the city. Visit the fantastic La Conciergerie and Sainte-Chapelle castle if you want to admire something both aesthetically-stunning and historically-intriguing, go underground to the Catacombs for a macabre, but strangely compelling, glimpse of the past, and cruise the Seine on a hop-on, hop-off boat to get a beautiful perspective of the City of Light from the water.

Tip: The last time we were in Paris, we had one day to explore. We chose to go unscripted. See Paris in Winter Has a Perfect Patina.

We hope these three very diverse ideas might spark some thoughtful planning for a vacation everyone in the family can enjoy. Feel free to add suggestions!
